While I agree the Steelers need a RB, by the time they draft one, Franklin will be gone. Don't shoot the messenger, but I wouldn't be shocked to see them draft Le'von Bell in the 3rd or 4th round.

I really hope they draft Le'veon over Franklin, I just think he can take the starting job at RB and Franklin is no doubt very very good but I think Bell can do better in Pittsburgh and become a starter in a second

I've been saying all along, I would be very happy if they get Bell. I like his style. Steeler fans will love him. If we get the O line in order, we will finally have a legit rushing attack - something that averages 4.5 ypc instead of last year's pathetic 3.7 ypc.

i dont get the love for bell, and i never will...he is not that good and hes definitely not "the type of back fans will love" not even in the same universe of the physicality that can earn that title. In pittsburgh if you arent bettis you are soft. Bell does not play to his size

The knock on Bell is that Michigan St. has over used him. Meaning that he already has taken a lot of hits and punishment on his body and is not expected to have a long career in the NFL. Greg Cosell said that Bell can come in and help a team right away, but don't expect him to be available 5 years down the road.
